Monday Makers! #14 :)

On time and under budget! Well - on time, anyways - I'm rarely under budget, unless the budget is "I do what I wannnnnnnnnnnnnt!" :D

Girl set :)

Boy set :)

Last week I started an owl bag for a little girl - I got it completed, along with the rest of the items for the gift set, and posted it here :) I also finished the set for her brother :) I absolutely LOVE the owl drawstring bag (winterpeach on Etsy) - it's a very easy bag to do, and I'm getting better at doing those circular bottoms :)

This morning I cut out some Christmas/winter drawstring bags - some of these are for gifts, some are because I needed more gift bags, lol. My goal is to get them stitched this week so I can ship the gifts next week :D I might add jingle bells to some of them - I think that would be a fun touch!

How is everybody doing on their Christmas sewing? I'm a bit behind my self-imposed schedule, but not by much, so I'm doing fine. Thank goodness for Nurdan's kick-in-the-pants Monday Makers! posts to keep me in line ... and thanks also to the internet in general for being so bleeping inspirational :D

Thanks for visiting! I try to reply to all comments - if you're a No Reply blogger or using Google + I can't get your email address so please leave it (obfuscated somehow) in the message so I can write back (and snoop your blog, lol) - thank you!

About Me

Stay at home mom of 2 great boys - both of them electricians like their dad :) Hubby and I live near Toronto (Ontario), and have been married for 32 years. Both of our boys (now 29 and 27) have houses nearby, and visit the family grocery store (aka my basement storeroom) on a regular basis :D I regularly accidentally cook extra food for them to take home when they do visit, and keep a shelf stacked with household goods that they might need - they don't complain ;) Empty Nest Syndrome my a$$ - we're loving this!
On the crafty front - I sew. A lot. And shop for sewing. A lot :) And computer - a lot :) Life is fun, so SMILE, and thanks for dropping by :)
